I need to use Rhino 4 and AutoCAD for work, the one problem Linux has is that there is not a great 3D CAD package available. I also still record some of the local radio shows from my FM receiver card so I can listen to them on my ipod. I have tried to get my FM receiver card to run through Linux for a while, but others do not seem to have any joy either.

If it were not for these things, windows would not be on my system at all!!!

Ah, ermm.. I see some reference to Captain Lionel Mandrake out there (Peter Sellers in Dr.Strangelove?) but i'm afraid the Mandrake I refer to is now called Mandriva, the Linux distribution. less comical than our dear Mr.Sellers some years ago they, Mandrake Linux, decided to merge with another company, and from this came a name change to Mandriva.


This world has many legs, and they move often.

The absolute best project management software.

Morrowind, Fear, CS, Wacom Tablet applications (Corel Painter...), ActiveX for training websites.

OpenGL performance from Intel chipsets is subpar in Linux.

Laptop support. Resume and have a wifi connections

Multimedia keys.

I dare say photo printers work a bit better in Windows.
I use to have to rotate, tap and do the happy dance to get my pictures printing under KDE/LINUX/GNU.

Cell Modems generally don't have much hardware control under linux.

Can't switch from RXtt to EVD0/REVA in Linux last I checked. Services don't yet work in Wine.

K3B won't burn to some external burners.
I think some of the commands are burried in the source code?
It's not like you can go edit an XML file to change the script it calls to burn with.


Basario is a better alternative though Gnome based.
Nero for Linux is nice but not free.

I use Windows for 3 things: Word Processing (got Office 2007, might as well use it), media serving (the Xbox running XBMC doesn't like talking to the Linux box for some reason), and online gaming (Steam doesn't work in Linux... yet.)

Since my last post here, I almost never use Windows at home. However, I still have an installation of XP because I am studying with the Open University and for some courses the software is Windows-only (I totally failed to get Mathcad working under Wine, and I will be having to use it again next year).

My games like Fear 2, Crysis and such.

My digital TV Tuner card, unfortunetly is unrecognised by the distro I Use and well I just need HD-TV On my computer. SO I set WIndows to a 10gig partitition (and Suse Enterprise 10.1 has the much bigger drive) - Why dedicate a 60 gig partition to WIndows when I will only use one app! LOL

To be frank , I use it for nothing.

To me Windoze has been decommissioned , and functions entirely as a test area.

where i can test fire some applications i may write or to check cross platform compatibility and stuff like that.


very Rarely i run actual programs that are not for testing purposes
but that's very rarely as i said.

Cheers

Wintendo is better for games.

Inspired by some post published on LinuxQuestions I decided to start a new thread. Our replies to my question could help Slackware Contributors improve the system.

I use Windows from time to time to print some documents because I got as a gift Canon PIXMA iP3600 and I was unable to run that printer using my Slackware Linux.

I use Windows to trade stocks and fly the Microsoft Flight Simulator.

I use windows to trade stocks online and play games. Thats it....

I don't------Did you have any other questions??....
